Out of place or Ahead of their time

It’s funny how some of the statements or ideas that prove to be the most powerful and true are ones that are thought of as “illogical” “crazy” “weird” even “evil” when they are first seen by ourselves or the rest of the world. As I look back over some of the thoughts I’ve had in months past I can see how things which I regarded as “weird” or “random” were simply ahead of their time. Nobody thought Noah’s ark made sense. Those same people who mocked him drowned in a worldwide flood weeks later, while Noah and his family floated safely in the ark. That being said, I think its important that all ideas, especially the weird and out there ideas are given a little grace and faith. New ideas are just that. They’ve never been seen before. There is no real standard to judge or assessment them by. If you can remember the last weird or crazy thought you had, think it again and be more gentle in your assessment of it.

( As I wrote this post my spell check caught my misspelling of the word “assess” which i spelled “asess” I was like “ok…so how do you spell asess? Asses? That can’t be it. My spell check was of no help to me. It simply told me that i had a word incorrectly spelled but it could not tell me how to spell the word I wanted to use. I found it on google eventually. I thought that was funny. One letter off and this post would have been about butts. )
